duanedesignmorning hobgoblin11:27
hobgoblino/11:27
hobgoblinduanedesign: how's things/11:30
hobgoblinduanedesign: apt-cacher is new to me - and there are different ones to use ...11:37
hobgoblin:)11:37
hobgoblinnvm - I think I have sorted it now12:30
duanedesignhobgoblin: sorry i stepped out.12:37
hobgoblinI think I can forgive you today :)12:37
duanedesignheh, you get apt-cacher set up12:40
hobgoblinthink so with apt-cacher-ng - I won't really know till there are some updates on lucid :)12:41
hobgoblinif I get the downloads quicker than 70kb/s I would hazard a guess it is :)12:41
hobgoblinduanedesign: yep - all appears to be hunky dory :)13:58
AJH101Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward?17:28
duanedesignAJH101: did you get the info you were looking for?18:25

AJH101Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward?19:33
paultagAJH101: Humm.19:34
paultagAJH101: I would avoid it ( I used to do that )19:34
paultagAJH101: the issue is configuration changes from install to install19:34
hobgoblinI would +1 that - I try not to use same /home19:34
paultagAJH101: since it is studio, I assume you will be running JACK ?19:34
paultagAJH101: so the default will be set to JACK once you do that on the Studio partition, but when you go back to Ubuntu it will try and use JACK ( and it's not installed ) thusly breaking the Sound system19:35
paultagThere are other concerns. If youwant to share /home, create two users AJH10119:35
paultagbut even that is risky19:35
duanedesignor maybe a  /data partition to share information19:38
paultag+1 duanedesign, not a bad idea19:39
paultagduanedesign: then ln it to ~19:39
paultagduanedesign: I do the same with "/Media" and that has /Media/movies and /Media/music19:39
SoSamonohello every one19:39
paultagHola19:40
duanedesignpaultag: ahh, thats neat19:40
SoSamonocan you help with something plx?19:40
paultagduanedesign: I like it. I keep 100 GB slices of my drive for different distros and I got tired of copying music around19:40
paultagSoSamono: don't ask to ask, just ask! :)19:40
SoSamonook my problem is i want to put VLC player runing as defoult player on the cd-rom whem i put some media on at this moment i have Totem how can i xhange that in Ubunto?19:42
paultagSoSamono: sure can :)19:43
paultagSoSamono: There should be a menu item to change the default handlers19:44
paultagduanedesign: can you help? I am on my sister's box. No Ubuntu :(19:44
duanedesignpaultag: yes19:44
paultagduanedesign: thank you <319:45
duanedesignSoSamono: you can change the default app for filetypes19:45
duanedesignSoSamono: R-Click on one of your movies, for example, and select Properties19:45
duanedesignSoSamono: Select the 'Open With' Tab19:46
duanedesignSoSamono: select VLC. If you dont see it you might have to 'Add' it19:47
duanedesignthen everytime you select that file type it will open with VLC19:47
SoSamonoi sse19:48
SoSamonoisse19:48
SoSamonothnks for that i was looking for some comand line to do that :P19:49
paultagduanedesign: thanks :)19:50

ShadowKnighthey, i had a question of how to set up ubuntu for netbook i wasnt quite sure how20:55
lstdio_phillw, how do you think I found out?20:55
lstdio_http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144613220:55
phillwlstdio_: also #ubuntu+1 on IRC20:55
lstdio_I even left a comment...20:55
lstdio_ShadowKnight, install? or configure?20:57
phillwlstdio_: have you had a read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142321020:57
ShadowKnightlstdio_, install it completely new with a windows 7 starter base20:57
phillwlstdio_: threads from the likes of technoviking are allways worth following :-)20:59
michae1trying to get my box set up as a web test environment. went through the steps to get LAMP set up. anyone know where I can find straight forward directions on how to get the box to accept files when trying to upload to it?21:04
ShadowKnightanyone know how to set up ubuntu on a netbook? is it better to do the netbook remix or just regular ubuntu?21:07
lstdio_phillw, threads like mine are always worth following up too. ;)21:08
lstdio_ShadowKnight, in that case then, you'll need a pendrive, and the netbook iso image21:08
lstdio_ShadowKnight, you can make the pendrive bootable using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/21:09
lstdio_which will extract the image onto it.21:09
lstdio_once complete, all you do is reboot + select the USB Hard Drive from BIOS boot setup.21:10
lstdio_you can also follow this documentation for creating a bootable pendrive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick21:11
ShadowKnighthmmm okay so in that i download the windows or linux version? and would it work if i put it in my external hard drive?21:11
lstdio_ShadowKnight, you are in windows, right?21:11
lstdio_you download the windows version ;)21:12
lstdio_It is a program21:12
lstdio_you run it.21:12
ShadowKnightlmao okay then just making sure. okay so i download that and the iso image?21:12
lstdio_yes21:12
lstdio_http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook21:12
lstdio_ShadowKnight, ensure that you use a clean pendrive (ie: format it before using unetbootin on it)21:13
phillwlstdio_: There was no slight on your abilities, I apologise if you felt I was calling your knowledge & experience into doubt.21:14
cliffhangerDoes any1 know if I can upgrade a 32bit version of ubuntu 2 64bit without doing a fresh install? (looking 4 a way so that I don't lose my programs)21:14
ShadowKnightokay thenthanks lstdio_ imma get on this right now.21:14
lstdio_phillw, no worries - I'm not usually named this nick anyway. =)21:14
lstdio_phillw, it does give insight though to see how new users are treated every once in a while =)21:16
lstdio_paultag, plymouth is absolutely useless...21:17

lstdio_paultag, no it doesn't ;)21:18
lstdio_http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/21:18
